Do American people ever wonder "are we the baddies"? If this is an accurate description, I think everyone would agree that this is a bully behaviour. And arguably evil and opposite to the "free market" it champions officially.

In fact, is China or Russia involved in similar planet-scale military enforcement?

Any American who ponders this out loud is quickly silenced with "America! Love it or leave it!".

The US is a very violent place. Founded by war, exists in part to feed the military industrial complex. The vast majority of Americans have no problem with exporting violence around the world if it means “America wins” and not the fear of muslims or socialism or all the other boogeymen.
